THE ONE THAT EXPLORES RUSSIA PLUS THE HIGHLIGHTS OF NORTHERN EUROPE IN 2 WEEKS

Sweden, Finland, Belarus, Poland, Germany - we weren't lying when we said Russia "plus". Cathedrals, charming old towns and endless history abound on this 14-day extravaganza, firing up in Stockholm. Ramp up your trip with experiences like the Russian Ballet and a Chopin piano recital in Warsaw, or just get your culture fix from the comfort of a local bar.

WHAT YOU GET

13 nights accommodation

12 nights in Hotel, 1 night in Overnight Cruise

For 12 nights, you'll be laying your head in top quality hotels - some quirky, some chic, some homely. A night will also be spent snugged into a ship's cabin as we cruise across the Baltic Sea overnight.

20included Meals

6 Dinner, 13 Breakfast, 1 Lunch

From meatballs with jam in Sweden to stroganoff with lashings of sour cream in Russia, the food you'll be tasting is as delicious as it is unique. We'll make sure your belly never goes empty, and in addition to breakfast every day, we'll feed you 1 lunch and 6 dinners, among them a traditional Polish feast.

Changes must be made.

Full on content was great, having to purchase so many add ons on top of an already expensive tour was not. The dinners were far too overpriced considering what was recieved.

Never any regrets

Contiki never fails to exceed my expectations! The tour manager (Greg) and driver (Marty) were exceptional and went above and beyond to make this trip special. Coupled with local guides in each city, I could not recommend this experience more highly.

Really great.

Second Contiki and was a wonderful experience, Toni was full of incredible information (her slideshows = amazing!!!) and places to go out eat and have a great night. The hotels were stayed in were all amazing and I felt safe the whole time and would come with Contiki again!

WILL CONSIDER OTHER TOUR COMPANIES ALONG WITH CONTIKI NEXT TIME.

THOUGHT I HAD A 10 PERCENT REDUCTION IN PRICE AS I DID A CONTIKI THE YEAR BEFORE.
DID NOT RECEIVE THE TRAVEL PACK WHICH THE OTHER TRAVELLERS HAD.

One of the best experiences!

This trip really surprised me, I loved everything about it and would go back to each and every country and spend more time exploring. I loved Russia, St Petersburg is beautiful and Moscow is so big and there is so much history I loved every minute of it! I seriously think it's a place everyone should go once in their life.

Very good trip overall. Hotels were decent with the exception of Warsaw (only because it had no air conditioning and it was HOT). Included meals were all decent, lots of optional activities available. All included cities were great. The architecture and buildings in Russia were stunning!!!

It was a fantastic trip, learnt so much about this incredible region and its different people. I highly recommend it to anyone remotely interested in Russia, as it shows a whole new side to this rather mysterious place which leaves you jaw-dropped. In simple terms: Life-changing!

Overall An Amazing Experience

I think this was a good purchase. For the money I paid I got good excursions, meals, hotels was just one roommate, and more. I'm happy with the money I spent. Thank you!

Very well-organised

This is definitely a trip for those interested in Russian and Eastern European history and culture. I thought it would be too difficult to do Russia alone and this made it easier to enjoy the experience without the anxiety of travelling in a country which can be notoriously difficult. Also, now I can go back by myself and feel confident!
